Re: D

I believe D plans on increasing the dividend by 6% for the next couple of years as well.
I believe you are correct, Unlike you, I sold all of mine. Just now I put it back on the watch list.

I, like you, have maintained my D position. I understand why many considered the past dividend reduction a cut but companies are always selling and buying assets which can impact dividends. What was difficult, at the time, was determining whether the move was positive or negative going forward.

I trimmed shares when D cut the dividend but did not sell the entire position...it was still in my top ten. Ha! I placed the proceeds in DUK which did extremely well....now I cut a bit of DUK (still in top 10) and have an LBO on D...since D's next ex date is in March I'm in no hurry...will add shares to D opportunistically prior to the next ex date.
